FiskarsProCision Rotary Bypass Trimmer, 12-Inch, orange

I purchase this rotary cutter bc (it says)1. The blade never needs replace,2. I cut a lot of card stock (cs) and printer paper. (thought this would be perfect for that).3. Being a rotary cutter, I figured it would be better for me, as my hand was injured, and not much strength in it now. And...4. It's suppose to be able to cut up to 20 sheets of paper at a time. Just what I was looking for! Right?Well, it can't even cut 1 piece of 80 lb cs without fraying the edges (as you can see in my photos). Also, under the window light, it looks new. But when I put it on my desk (under my desk top light) I saw the scratches. (That didn't bother me at that point.)But I tried to cut my 1st piece of cs and the edges was frayed and actually bent toward the under-side in some places. I tried a few more pieces of cs, and each were the same, (frayed edges). No one had a clean cut edge.I was so disappointed. I believe this cutter was used previously.Also, when pushing upward or pulling downward, the wheel was so HARD to push or pull, like it is grabbing or pressed too tight against the guide plate. Also, this cutter is heavy, like it's a heavy duty cutter. Seems to be made well, just defective?I called Amazon CS, and they offered me a replacement or credit. After talking with the Rep. I decided this might just be a fluke and said to exchange it. We'll see. I will update my review after Tuesday (when the replacement is to arrive).Until then, I give this one 1 star. I am so disappointed in it. Hopefully the replacement will get 4-5 stars. 😁UPDATE: I received the replacement quickly! Thank You!I tried it out immediately, and this one cut so good! It was easier to slide, I cut 3 pcs of 80 lb card stock, together. It went through it so easy! And a clean cut, too! The edges are so clean and smooth! I also checked this cutter for scratches or any signs of previously owned. It was perfect. 😁. The measures are accurate and the top lever does NOT allow the card stock to move. Perfect cut every time, even as small as 1/16 of an inch slice! I am so happy with this purchase. 😁 I will give this one 5 stars⭐!Thank You Amazon for such a speedy replacement!I hope I won't ever have to replace the blade. The info says not. 😅

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have bought more cutters recently that were a disappointment. I finally decided to spend a little more money on a better one. The reviews i read prior to purchase were so positive that i decided to give it a try. It is pretty big and heavy but it accurately and easily cuts your paper. The blade is self-sharpening so no more dull blades either!! A purchase I am glad I made.

I've had a Fiskars slide paper trimmer for years and I love it. It is accurate and the cuts are crisp and neat. With the thickness and fiber content of the paper I selected for the bands on my wedding invitations, the blade was snagging and tearing my paper. I hoped this trimmer would work better and it does not disappoint. The rotary style blade glides right over the sheet and leaves a clean, crisp cut. With the self-sharpening blade, the 100th cut is just as precise as the first. Speaking of precise, I was able to trim 1/8 inch accurately. That is not always the case with the slide style trimmer (sometimes I get lucky). This trimmer is durable, I dropped it when I was relocating a stack of projects and supplies. No damage at all.

I recently acquired this paper cutter, and it's truly a game-changer for my crafting projects. Having damaged my previous cutter while attempting to slice through heavy cover cardstock, I was on the hunt for a replacement and this one has surpassed my expectations.The folding-out base is a standout feature, effectively doubling the measuring area, which is incredibly beneficial when working with full-size paper sheets and larger cardstock. The built-in base with its precise measuring guides significantly aids in achieving accurate cuts every time.The robust construction of this cutter instills confidence with each use. It delivers impeccably clean cuts, allowing for the conservation of paper and the creation of fine details without any waste. In fact, it played a crucial role in salvaging card bases I thought were ruined by my old cutter. Being able to fix those and add fine details was an absolute delight.I've been a longtime user of this company's crafting tools and have always been impressed with their customer service. While the cost initially made me hesitant, my extensive experience with paper cutters has taught me the value of a high-quality tool, particularly when it comes to achieving those precise, fine cuts.For those working with heavier paper, this cutter's performance is astonishing. It managed to make a fine cut on embossed heavy cover cardstock – a feat that most paper cutters struggle with. If you’re contemplating whether to invest in this cutter, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the plunge. The precision blade and guidelines ensure beautifully straight cuts, making this an investment you won’t regret. It’s not just a paper cutter; it’s an essential tool for anyone serious about their crafting.
